Bridge Keepers Cottage on Bass River's Edge
West Dennis Vacation Rental - ID 19031

What a pleasant experience. We had a pleasure of staying this August with our 3 children and a dog. Ann has been a wonderful host, next door neighbor. She gave my kids toys, books and lots of goodies to play with. She even bought a birthday balloon and a present for our youngest. We've been in many places but this experience was just different. We've never been welcomed in such a way before! The house was a perfect fit for our family. Plenty of space with all the amenities needed on a daily basis. Kitchen was well equipped with all the essentials to prepare meals, clean dishes and everything in between. The highlight of the trip was the outdoor shower that my kids loved. We would like to thank you for unforgettable time at your cozy and charming cottage.

What a wonderful find! Ann the owner and Chris her son were wonderful hosts. We stayed at Bridge Keeper's Cottage for one week this August (2024) and loved every minute. The description and pictures are accurate. The cottage is charming and comfortable and the owner was quick to respond if we had any questions but absolutely respectful of our privacy. The location is quiet and peaceful at all times, as well centrally located enough to visit all that Cape Cod offers. We love this cottage!!

What a wonderful little cottage. It was the perfect size for myself, my boyfriend and our black lab Chapin. The cottage is tucked away not too far off Rt 28 but you would never know such a busy road was close by. There is a dock at the end of the street which was the perfect location for morning coffee and fishing. The Summer Shanty is a quick ride or walk up the street. Great food and drinks and a great place to experience a Dennis Sunset. The backyard has a grill and table with chairs to relax. My favorite part of the house was the outside shower. There is no better way to clean off after a long day at the beach. Our host Anne was wonderful. She left us some treats and wine on check in and we were lucky to chat with her before we left! We cant wait to rebook for next summer. Thanks for letting us share in your little slice of Cape Cod Heaven.

Our stay at the Bridge Keepers cottage was absolutely delightful. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood yet so close to a dock for paddle boarding, it was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.

The cozy decor inside the cottage charmed us from the start. It's clear every detail was thoughtfully chosen to give that seaside feel. Despite its smaller size, the place felt bright and airy with plenty of natural light streaming in through the windows. We kept them open for breezes most days, but there's also A/C if needed.

Being near local amenities and dining spots made everything so convenient. We explored both south side beaches like West Dennis and the north side ones throughout our stay. Plus, getting a weekly beach sticker at town hall meant we could enjoy nearly any Dennis beach, which was great.

Anne & Chris, the owners, were fantastic. They were always there if we needed anything, yet they respected our privacy completely. It was comforting to know they were just a phone call away but let us enjoy our time in their lovely home without any interruptions.

For anyone seeking a coastal getaway that's charming, convenient, and relaxing, this cottage is the ideal choice.

My partner and I are from Germany and stayed at Anne's perfect Cape Cod cottage for six weeks from early September to mid-October this year and had a a wonderful vacation. The cottage was just right for us, very clean and located in a beautiful hidden neighborhood. Anne was always helpful and very friendly.We definitely recommend staying at the cottage!

I spent the summer at this lovely cottage located oh so close to the Bass River. It was a perfect place to leave all my worries behind. Just a short walk to the river and a short drive to the beach and restaurants and all the other amenities that the Cape has to offer. The lodgings are comfortable and well appointed. The location is quiet ;tucked away but not isolated. Anne and Chris were attentive but not intrusive.

We just came home from a week at this lovely cottage. It was so comfortable and soul-satisfying, with a beautiful view of the water just a short walk away, quiet nights, and lovely days. It's hard to believe that this oasis is located less than a mile from West Dennis beach and all the amenities you might ever want. Anne and her son, Chris, were helpful in each detail and it is so obvious that this family has paid attention to all the details. From the curtains and furnishings to the decorations on the wall, this little cottage has obviously been loved well over its long lifetime. And it has a unique history, which they will gladly share with you. We bought our dog and it was just a lovely week in every single way.

What a most wonderful time my family and I had in this lovely and comfortable little place! It was full of light, character, amenities, and it was clean. It was in a great location on the beautiful Bass River in the center of the Cape, yet, it was private, quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed Anne's welcoming touches to the place and her friendliness and hospitality...we truly felt welcomed and at home. It was great to have canoe, kayak and bicycles! They really got use!! We have been renting at the Cape for over 30 years and this place is probably the overall best. It's a "keeper"!

My family stayed at Anne's cottage this summer and had a great vacation. The property was perfect for us, conveniently located, clean, and Anne's hospitality was greatly appreciated. Would recommend and hope to stay again!

Spent a week at Anne's charming cottage in August. What a wonderful spot! The cottage is cozy and comfortable and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the waterfront view that Anne made sure we knew was available to us. Morning coffee and sunset drinks were even more special when taken with a view. The abundant bird watching was a pleasant bonus! We had a great paddle around the cove in the canoe and pedaled our bikes to the beach. West Dennis is a great jumping off point for all the Cape has to offer. We would definitely recommend this lovely vacation rental.

My husband and I rented this adorable little cottage with our 2 year old daughter in June. This was our first time ever being on the Cape. Anne made us feel right at home from the moment we opened the door. Her cottage is exactly like the pictures on a quiet dead end street. She had everything we could need from a canoe, sand toys, life vest and even a tent for the beach. Her cottage is in the perfect location to check out other towns. She made excellent restaurant recommendations as well. We will defiantly rent her cottage again when we go back.

We stayed at this nice cottage for vacation and really enjoyed it. Great, quiet location close to the river, clean and well-equipped cottage including BBQ and beach equipment and toys for the kids from the homeowner, who was very friendly. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a family-friendly cottage to relax and enjoy the summer.

We will be back again each year! We have 2 children ages 7 & 9. More experienced parents have told me if you find a great vacation home, go back to the same one each year and it somehow feels like coming home..Well, we loved it & have found ours! Super clean and charming on a private road with great parking and location to grand cove this is a little gem. Each morning catching crabs and letting them race back to the water became the kids favorite activity. This cottage offers open concept and a big front porch, a private yard for hanging out, not to mention being centrally located! The most wonderful owners give you books of things to do & places to eat! (all of which were spot on!) Wow!

My family of 4 and our 4 legged Boston Terrier stayed here 2 years ago....and Anne is amazing! The property is off the beaten path, but not far from anything. The house and patio are beautiful and very clean! Anne was close by put respected our privacy. She offered us, especially the kids, anything they needed to make their vacation fun! Out back of the property, you can sit anytime and have the most amazing view of the water....we were there for the 4th and what a sight it was to see fireworks from afar! We visited the boat/fishing dock just around the corner to fish several times! The kids especially loved all the crabs we caught and released! We would definitely rent here again!

I stayed at the cottage for a week in June. It is bright, pleasant to live in, clean and comfortable. It's located in a quiet neighborhood where I could sleep in each morning, and it was a restful retreat each evening after a day at the beach, shopping, or exploring the Cape. The cottage is well appointed and I found everything I needed in the kitchen the few nights I cooked in. West Dennis Beach is huge and only a mile and a half away. In addition to all of the above-mentioned amenities, the owner is a delight. Helpful and thoughtful. Definitely consider this cottage as you plan your trip to the Cape.

This cottage is clean and bright and full of charm. We found that we had over-packed because the cottage is stocked with everything you would ever need. Anne is such a gracious host and she made us feel like family. She shared her canoe, kayak, fishing poles, beach chairs, etc. and most of all she shared her beautiful view. From behind her home she set up an area for her guests that overlooks the Bass River where you can enjoy your morning coffee or your afternoon cocktails. It's located in a quiet, peaceful area yet only a few miles away from beaches, shops, restaurants and activities. We had such a memorable vacation at the Cove Cottage and we hope to be able to return next year.

My husband, baby and I stayed at this lovely cottage for 3 weeks this past summer. It was perfect for us- clean, cozy, well stocked. Two nice bedrooms. The location is great and it's so nice to be able to walk around the corner to the cove. Owner Anne was wonderful to deal with. Would definitely return!

Aside from a clean, sweet, well equipped cottage with a great location on the Bass River, there's something very special about this place. That's because Anne takes such pride in making her guests feel comfortable and helping them to have the best vacation ever. We were treated like guests rather than renters. We would not hesitate to book here again. I would give it an extra star if I could!

My husband and I stayed here with a couple of our friends and our 2 dogs. We all had a great time in this cozy little cottage. The owner was super nice and was happy to give us anything we needed during our stay, including beach chairs, toys, floats, etc. It was in a very convenient location and even walking distance to Sundancers where we went for food and drinks a couple of times.

Our stay in this cottage was nothing less than wonderful! My only regret was that we had to leave this bright and clean sanctuary. The pictures online did not do this cottage justice. Our hostess was very gracious and warm. We will be back!

My husband and I stayed here a few weeks ago, and it was perfect. I loved the all season porch and the private backyard with the grill. It was only a 3 mile bike ride, all on sidewalks, to the start of the bike path. It was very convenient to Route 28 and West Dennis Beach. It was so quiet and peaceful being so close to Route 28. The kitchen was fully equipped. I hope to come back next year!

If you are looking for a very private and peaceful location that is just minutes from beaches, the Cape Cod Bike Path, and shopping, then you have found the right place. Our children loved crabbing and fishing off the town dock. Taking the kayak or canoe out to the Grand Cove is very serene. We had a very relaxing vacation.

My family had the pleasure of spending a week at this property. It is on a quiet, secluded road and is so peaceful and well appointed! The owner lent us the canoe, and our daughters had so much fun exploring the Bass River Cove. My husband enjoyed fishing from the town dock and grilling out on the lovely patio out back. The outdoor shower is amazingly refreshing, and the nearby beaches are gems!

Restaurants, mini golf, bumper cars, ice cream shops all just minutes away. Loved staying at the beach all day and having pizza delivered to us! The cottage is bright, clean and comfortable. You can sit on the front porch and see fireflies at night!! So relaxing! After the beach and dinner; you return home to a peaceful sleep on very comfy beds....the sound of crickets lull you to sleep. You will hear no traffic here. We just booked for next summer! Looking forward to biking along the National Seashore again!! Summer cannot come fast enough!!!!
